ARTICLE III.

Bayshore Beach Club, Inc.

    1. Membership. The owner of each lot of the said property shall be a member of Bayshore Beach Club, Inc. Each member shall be entitled to one vote for each lot owned by or held under contract of sale to him, but no more than one vote per lot shall be cast regardless of the number of owners thereof.
    2. Dues and Assessments. For the purpose of financing the activities of the Club, it is hereby declared that all the lots within the said property may be annually assessed or charged at an initial rate not to exceed four mills per square foot based upon the minimum sized lot of 5,000 square feet, which ordinary annual assessment may be referred to as "annual dues", and computed upon the aforesaid basis will amount to $20 per lot initially. The annual millage rate may be increased in any one year in an amount not to exceed two mills over the rate in effect for the year immediately preceding. The annual assessment (or dues) and the rate thereof shall be imposed only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Club, for each year after the initial year ending June 30, 1964, for which initial year the said assessment rate has been fixed hereby, and in the By-Laws of the Club. Such annual assessment, or dues, and the date thereof, shall be fixed by the Board of Directors at its meeting held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the members of the Club to be held each year in May, and shall be due and payable on or before the 30th day of June succeeding, and if not then paid shall thereafter be delinquent and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Upon becoming delinquent such assessment of dues shall constitute a lien upon the property against which the same was levied, and the Club may file within 120 days after said delinquency a statement of charges or assessments due in the office of the County Clerk of Lincoln County. A release of said lien shall be filed by the Club upon payment in full of said dues or assessment. Said lien may be enforced by the Club as may any lien on real property under the law; and if said lien is foreclosed, the lot owner shall be liable for the costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorney fees, of the Club therein, all of which costs, disbursements and fees shall be secured by such lien. The purchasers of lots within the said property, by the acceptance of deeds therefor, whether from declarants or subsequent owners of any of said property, or by the signing of contracts to purchase the same, shall become personally obligated to pay such dues or assessments, including interest, upon the lot or lots purchased or agreed to be purchased by them and shall be subject to the enforcement provisions outlined above.

3. Unkempt Lots. The Bayshore Beach Club, Inc., shall have the right at all

times to enter upon any lot and after reasonable notice to the owner thereof to do whatever is reasonably necessary to return and maintain the appearance thereof to a condition that is clean, neat and otherwise consistent with the high standards expected of all lots within the sub-division and, in addition, to control erosion or any other form of soil stability by grading, planting or any other accepted practice therefor. The foregoing may be carried out at the expense of the Bayshore Beach Club, Inc., but said Bayshore Beach Club, Inc., shall have a lien upon the property, and the owner thereof shall be personally obligated to provide reimbursement to the Club for all expenses so incurred. Such lien may be enforced in the same manner as provided for in Subsection 2, Article III, relating to collection of dues and assessments. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to excuse the owner from any requirement of or under any other provision of this Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions.

ARTICLE IV.

attempted violation is brought to its attention in writing, any person or persons

then owning lots within the said property may take such steps in law or in
